If you kill the golden goose it no longer lays eggs. So killing the golden goose just because it honks or scoffs at you isn’t a really good idea even if you are mad at it or it makes you look bad to your neighbors.
If the goose gets tired of laying golden eggs for your profit and not its your kinda screwed too.
So the trick is to keep the golden goose kinda happy but still getting your cut.
And if you want to kill the goose out of spite it’s best to wait until you have another gold laying goose working for ya.
I’m not sure to what extent the commies realize this.
...umm, Golden Goose...? Slasher, HK is now only 3% of the overall Chinese economy (vs over 20%+ in the 1990's). You might want to reconsider your HK's self-importance quotient.
